Welcome !

Maybe you already know something about Quakers and Quakerism, and maybe you have already heard about the international language Esperanto. Or maybe not.

But you'll discover here that those two movements (a non-dogmatic religion and a universal language) have a few things to share with each other. And our Society stands at a key intersection between these two movements. The mission of KES is twofold. One side seeks to present Quakers and Quakerism to Esperanto-speakers around the world. The other hopes to promote the usage of Esperanto among Quakers, to communicate easily and on an equal footing with other people around the world, and therefore with other Quakers too.

If you want to know more about KES and the connections between Esperanto and the Quakers, you are in the right place! Here you will find texts and periodicals. Factual kaj historical information. And much more. You can even browse through our pages in Esperanto, to see what the language looks like.

About us

The Quaker Esperanto Society (QES, or KES in esperanto) was founded in 1921. Since 1971, it is one of the thematic associations collaborating with UEA.

KES is a forum for people who belong to both communities (Quaker and Esperanto-speakers) and others, who only belong to one of them, but want to explore what mutual advantages they can bring to each other.
